How does climate change effect Chicago?

This action project is for my STEAM course, on the unit of water. This week we were focusing on the difference between climate and weather. We converted temperatures in Fahrenheit to Celsius and Celsius to Fahrenheit. We went on a Field Experience to the Lincoln Park Conservatory where we measured temperature and humidity in each room. I learned how the conservatory varies the climate in each room by using steam heating and windows on the ceilings as vents. At the end of the week, we were assigned an action project that took one region, country, or city and explained how the weather and climate in that place will change by 2100. Hope you enjoy.
